UCD Electrical & Electronic Engineering Society Annual General Meeting was held on 18th of April 2019 at 6:30 PM in Room 135.

Several important points were addressed at the Annual General Meeting 2019. The most important were the election and announcement of the new committee for the academic year 2019/2020, the proposal and the vote for the changes in the Constitution of the Society, including two appendices and the overview of the current year.

The newly elected committee consists of few previous committee members which will ensure a smooth handover and knowledge transfer to the less experienced students who undertook some of these challenging positions. The following are the elected 2019/2020 committee members:

Auditor – Catherine Waechter
Secretary – Dasha Lisovski
Treasurer – Emma Coogan
Events Officer – Niall Donohoe
Public Relations Officer – Aishah Aich
IEEE Student Branch Chair – James Hayes
EESTEC Observer Dublin Chair – Callum Hunt
Robotics Officer – John Heavey
Robotics Officer – Hisham Talukder
Robotics Officer – Jack Nugent
Robotics Officer – Jon McGrath

The Senior Treasurer remained unchanged from the previous year, Dr Elena Blokhina.

Other important amendments were the official integration of IEEE Student Branch and Chapters and EESTEC Observer Dublin (Junior Local Committee candidate).
